Only one of the two men arrested last week in connection to the robbery at the Rio Casino appeared in court this morning. Police say 62-year-old Hiroyuki Yamaguchi is the Lucky Cab taxi driver who dropped 55-year-old Steven Gao off at the Rio and then picked him up. In court, Yamaguchi requested a Japanese translator. Police are still looking for Gao. Police believe that he may have fled to California. Last Thursday, investigators say Gao entered the casino with a black bag, wearing a fake mustache and took around $35,000 worth of chips. The second suspect 41-year-old Edward Land is due in court tomorrow.
